Wisdom for the day

LotusOne day Mara, the tempter, was travelling through the villages of India with his attendants. He saw a man doing walking meditation when the man's face lit up in wonder. The man had just discovered something on the ground in front of him. Mara’s attendant asked what the man had seen. Mara replied, "A piece of truth."

"Doesn’t it bother you when someone finds a piece of truth, O Evil One?" his attendant asked.

"No," Mara replied. "Right afterwards they usually make a belief out of it."
